Prednisone Part 2: Readings From The Little, Green "Krazy Book"

In this second part of a return to the little, green "Krazy Book", a diary kept by weggieboy while on 80mg a day of Prednisone, the memories become more difficult to bare. THIS VIDEO, AN EARLY ONE, HAS TITLES THAT DON'T MATCH THE RENAMED VIDEO.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the pred.! Nice to know I'm not the only one cleaning the kitchen at 3am and writing pages and pages of freaky poetry LOL! Its one of those drugs where the tratment is almost as bad as the disease. Its nice to know I'm not alone.

@sippigar That;'s what it's all about. We people experienced with Prednisone owe it to others to alert them to the abnormal fresponses they will have to it. I hope you are close to the end of you experience with the drug, and encourage you to Googloe Prednisone to learn of other possible serious, long term effects. Bone loss and bone necrosis are two really bad effects from long term use, ones your doctor should monitor for.

I do understand what you say here. I was blessed with doctors who knew (or managerd to discover?) the exact combination of trreatments and drugs to put me on the road to remission when I had my Wegener's granulomatosis flare. May you have the same good fortune! (p.s. If I understand your comment correctly, you are self-medicating. Please work with your doctors, if this is so! If I misunderstood, then, ignore my comment.)

Don't forget that autoimmune diseases and mental illness are strongly connected; probably due to anca antibodies and the toxins released by attacking white blood cells.... I may feel loopy or slightly manic when on my highest dose of prednisone, but that is still much better than the decades that I was depressed and irritable....
